This "case" has been a joke from the onset...but it's good to see it finally laid to rest. Human rights groups, sitting around with nothing to do, made all these publicized accusations that Israel was violating international law by using white phosphorous shelling in the Gaza operation. MSM outlet after outlet hopped on the story and tried to paint the Israelis as this hardcore violator of international law yet lo and behold, none of it was true. Big surprise, huh? Just how many incidents in this Gaza offensive that have splashed across the print or video media outlets have turned out to be out and out fakes, frauds or lies? If I was the Israeli government, I'd sue these mutherfuckers till the sun goes down. Anyway, here's the official findings by the International Red Cross on this issue from the article at The Jerusalem Post:
This is the same Human Rights Watch who sits on its ass while the Iranians stone and hang people and imprison detractors for decades but of course Human Rights Watch is only concerned with the "Zionists", of course. The fact of the matter is that the IDF is using the mid air shell bursts to illuminate the area during night battle preparations or as smoke cover for field movements...simple as that and that is exactly what the International Red Cross confirmed. So, for all of you that contributed money, charitable hard earned money of yours, to the International Red Cross and now are upset that it was all spent on this investigation...feel free to write to Human Rights Watch or better yet, send them an invoice.
The International Red Cross said Tuesday that Israel has fired white phosphorus shells in its offensive in the Gaza Strip, but has no evidence to suggest it is being used improperly or illegally.And here's the totally FALSE claims made by the band of illegitimate ass wipes that caused the whole stir:
The International Committee of the Red Cross urged Israel to exercise "extreme caution" in using the incendiary agent, which is used to illuminate targets at night or create a smoke screen for day attacks, said Peter Herby, the head of the organization's mines-arms unit.
"In some of the strikes in Gaza it's pretty clear that phosphorus was used," Herby told The Associated Press. "But it's not very unusual to use phosphorus to create smoke or illuminate a target. We have no evidence to suggest it's being used in any other way."
Human Rights Watch accused Israel of firing phosphorous shells and warned of the possibilities of extreme fire and civilian injuries. The chemical was suspected in the cases of 10 burn victims who had skin peeling off their faces and bodies.

'Israel's white phosphorus use legal'
"In some of the strikes in Gaza it's pretty clear that phosphorus was used," Herby told The Associated Press. "But it's not very unusual to use phosphorus to create smoke or illuminate a target. We have no evidence to suggest it's being used in any other way."
In response, the IDF said Tuesday that it "wishes to reiterate that it uses weapons in compliance with international law, while strictly observing that they be used in accordance with the type of combat and its characteristics."
Herby said that using phosphorus to illuminate a target or create smoke is legitimate under international law, and that there was no evidence the Jewish state was intentionally using phosphorus in a questionable way, such as burning down buildings or knowingly putting civilians at risk.
However, Herby said evidence is still limited because of the difficulties of gaining access to Gaza, where Palestinian health officials say more than 900 people have been killed and 4,250 wounded since Israel launched its offensive late last month. The operation aims to halt years of Palestinian rocket attacks over the border.

White phosphorus is not considered a chemical weapon.
